Shai, thanks to your help in the GJW we took first place against all the other clans. CNS came far too close and it was in part due to your efforts that let us take the lead over them. Your submissions in the RO added to the quality which let us have second overall in the competition. It’s been a long time since your last promotion and after talking it over with Duga I think it’s time you get one. You were never really rewarded for your time as Obelisk High Commander so that combined with your efforts in this GJW has merited a promo. Thanks for your efforts Shai, it’s really appreciated

Kraval Novir QUA of Dinaari

Shaithis has been around for four years now and all of that has pretty much been given to Taldryan. I remember joining Dinaari and I believe he was my QUA, a damn good member and leader at that. Over the past year or so he’s been out much of the time due to life taking more time, but he continues to have time for Taldryan when we really need the help. In the recent Great Jedi War, Shai jumped into several events, scoring excellent in all of them making it in the top 50 of 250 participants in the War. His help was much needed, without it we wouldn’t have been able to win this. This is yet another testament to his loyalty and devotion to the Clan.

Looking back it’s been about 3 years since Shaithis was promoted. Since then though he’s helped Taldryan in the Fourth Great Jedi War, two Obelisk Rites of Supremacy, a Krath Rite of Supremacy, the Clan Feud this year, and now this recent War. Besides that he was the OHC for awhile, did awesome for the Brotherhood there and wasn’t really rewarded that well for that. Overall though, the last 3 years has seen Shai participate in all levels of members and still it all came down to his loyalty and devotion to Taldryan in the end. For all this, he has definitely earned a promotion to Exarch. Congrats!

For Taldryan,

Shaithis comes from a long line of Dinaari greats. He and I worked together a lot during his time as OHC and I learned to appreciate his ideas and his advice. He is a great member who, when he retired initially, I truly hoped he would come back. Shaithis has returned at full force, helping to propel Taldryan to victory in the GJW. I am impressed by this activity and commitment to the Clan. He is one of those Taldryan members who just simply gets what being a member is all about. He has surely earned recognition through this promotion – even more so, he has earned our gratitude.

I think Crix has earned this promo for a while now. When he was in Dinaari he was active as can be and as Magistrate to the Deputy Grand Master I’m sure he’s been busy doing whatever projects Xanos assigns him. He left Dinaari for Ektrosis when a leadership spot became available and has taken to the role of AED well as far as I can see. His previous leadership for Archanis and Dinaari are big indicators that he has the potential to continue moving up the leadership ladder and one day take on larger roles. Congrats Crix, you’ve earned this.

Kraval Novir QUA of Dinaari

Shortly after my return to Ektrosis after my stint as KHP, I took the position as Envoy, and have received unwavering support in that position from the house leadership. Chaos and Crix work exceptionally well as a team. If one is absent for a period of time the other always has it covered, and I rarely see them disagree on matters of how the house should be run. My position means that I frequently need to get someone recommended for promotion, or I need to find out obscure bits of information, and there’s always one of them available for me to speak to on IRC. Worthy of note is that they’re capable of coming to actual decisions during e-mail threads – often a rare trait amongst DB leaders!

But the main emphasis of this recommendation has to be the leadership of Ektrosis during the recent feud and GJW. Despite the occasional computer problem, they both proved that they are leaders capable of ‘getting their hands dirty’ – they jump right in there and lead by example. Emphasizing the importance of participation, in the grandest tradition of the house, they were a main force in Taldryan’s victory. They’ve proven their credentials as leaders, and they’ve earned themselves a much deserved promotion. Thanks for all your work, guys. ~ Alanna

What can I say about Crix that everyone doesn’t already know? I guess I’ll start out with the obvious. Crix kicks ass. In the 8 months he has been Aedile of Ektrosis he has done so much and helped us do a lot of great things. We went from being slow house and not really active, to having more great members than we know what to do with. He has helped me so much with all the work he has done for the house. He was great in the feud, participating in 6 events and placing in first in the Run-on event. In the Great Jedi War he participated in 4 events gaining Taldryan 85 points coming in 114 out of 246 participants. His 8 months as Aedile have brought great things for house Ektrosis. We have become have become an active house with many great members destined to do great things. With his and Alanna’s help we have started the steps to getting a whole group of great leaders for Taldryan and the Brotherhood at large. With Crix’s hard work this could have never happened. I thank you Crix for everything you’ve done. You’ve earned this 3 times over.

QUA Chaosrain

There has been so much already said, there isn’t much that can be added to how much Crix rocks and deserves this promotion. Crix has been back in the Clan for more than a year now and AED of Ektrosis for the past 8 months. This is a person that can step up and do whatever is needed; he’ll do reports, do competitions, run this, check for that, and help the newest member of the House when needed. Leadership is a strong trait of Crix and can be seen by looking even farther in the past. Since his last promotion more than 3 years ago he has led House Archanis and helped lead Dinaari as Roll Master and then Aedile. You can’t keep Crix away from a role he is made for.

In the Great Jedi War Crix along with Chaos pushed House Ektrosis to be the dominate force in the Clan securing us another victory. He leads by his words as well as actions, jumping in several events scoring us a good amount of points that was need in such a close finish. For all Crix has done in the past and now, he is overdue for a promotion to Battlelord. Congrats!

As QUA of Ektrosis Chaos has done a good job in leading one of the most well known groups of writers in the DB. With his assistance in both motivating his house and his personal participation allowed Taldryan to take first place in the 6th GJW. Without the help of the fictional folks in Ekky we wouldn’t have made it and we have Chaos to thank for motivating them enough to help out. You’ve earned this promo you misspelling fool

Chaos has served Ektrosis as our Quaestor for nine months now. During that time he has been constantly working to improve the house through multiple updates to the Jedi Trials and changes in not only how the Battle teams worked, but also their very nature. Chaos is constantly in contact with me, the Clan Summit, our Envoy, the Battleteam Leaders and really, the entire house. The two of us have found that we work together very well, to the point of us saying the exact same thing in the exact same words at times. He's waited nearly a year since his last promotion; Chaos more then deserves this for all the work he's put into Ektrosis.

Battlemaster Taku Matsuki Taldrya, Aedile of Ektrosis and Son of Taldryan

Chaos is as much a member as he is a great leader. In the last 9 months he has pushed House Ektrosis to the most active House in the Clan, overtaking Dinaari which was seen by so many as the dominate powerhouse. Now we have a House Ektrosis with a superb Summit in place that is turning out active, contributing, and exciting new members. They’ve re-opened battle teams to help those in their Knight Trials take on leadership experience, upped the promotion standards and the handling of new members, and really just been growing day by day. There is no doubt that Chaos with his Summit and their simple, easy concepts of leadership have had a major part in all of that.

Most recently, Chaos has done excellent in the Great Jedi War for himself and the Clan. He managed to get in 14 events, score 6 placements, and finish right outside of the top 10 on the GJW MVP List. Without Chaos in the battlefield and leading his House we would have lost this. For all Chaos has done for the Clan and Ektrosis over the past 11 months since getting Templar, he is more than deserving of a promotion to the rank of Prelate. Congrats!

Hel-Pa has flourished during this GJW. His talent for JO was unknown to us until he started to win match after match! Enthusiastic and active, he has earnt his promotion to JH. ~Lannie

Hel-Pa has done great in this GJW. He participated in 6 events and earned the clan 289 points. He placed 68th overall and played his heart out in JO and in pinball. Hel-Pa is a great member; I can see him doing great things in the future. Hel-Pa today you are here by promoted to Jedi Hunter! Congratulations you have really earned this.

QUA Chaosrain

Sklib turned out a great record for the Clan in his first Great Jedi War. He hasn't been with us too long, but he's fitting in nicely. Without his help we might have lost this War, so a promotion for this and his continual general activity is in hand. Congrats Jedi Hunter!

Syrus (Shuang Long) has been a very hard worker within Naga Sadow for a long time. His efforts during the GJW have not gone unnoticed, especially within the poetry portion. He has also played a role in his team, as Tetrarch of the Night Hawks.

Beyond these things, Shuang has done countless fictions and poems in various competitions. His mentor, Trev, has pushed him beyond his usual boundaries in the completion of his knight trials. He has easily surpassed the usual requirements for Knight in this Clan, by the time the information was presented to the summit to review. Congratulations on earning your saber.

Kat Pridemore, PCON of Naga Sadow

Syrus completed his standard Knight Trials early on during the Great Jedi War, and I had suggested to him that he participate in one of the Fiction events of the Great Jedi war as his "Consul's Task" because at the time I thought it would be silly to distract Syrus from the Great Jedi War to do some other task for me. I said "any fiction", and when Syrus did the News Reporter event, I said, "Okay Syrus, you have completed my requirement, you can do your Knight Oath." However, Syrus didn't feel like what he had done was substantial enough, so he decided to wait until the next large fiction event to submit something a bit more substantial. I found this remarkable because Syrus had waited a long, long time to get Dark Jedi Knight, and he was willing to wait a few more weeks to submit something that he personally felt would satisfy the requirement.

Syrus has waited a long time to be promoted to Dark Jedi Knight, almost a year. He's a very low key member who, when needed, yet consistently, comes out of nowheere and BAM, kicks ass. So, I'm finally relieved we're getting this promotion through.

DarkHollywood has passed the AOL Instant Messenger Course. This is a basic activity that warrants a promotion to NOV.
